I think you mean to say: " XFX GPUs PSUs are made by Seasonic."
Indeed. My bad!
I think you mean to say: " XFX GPUs PSUs are made by Seasonic."
Sure and i meant Any XFX things, especially GPU and PSU. The problem is not which sticker it has and which company actually did the assembly, the problem i've had with XFX is how random the components used seem to come from. So in term of individual performance in the same serie, one unit may work fine and the other not.
Also for all Seasonic PSU, its either hit or miss. Some are very good, some are on the PSU banned/do not buy list.
There's no hit or miss with Seasonic, they're all excellent PSUs. Where have you seen a "do not buy" list of Seasonic PSUs? They can have defects like anyone else, sure, but their power supplies are a known quality; always great. Companies that use or have used Seasonic as an OEM, such as Corsair, XFX, Antec, Cooler Master, and probably a few more don't have a say in terms of what components are used inside the PSU. They can specify the looks of the PSU, the wires + number of connectors, and the modular connector styles, but not much else.

You'll noticed the big XFX aren't on the list. There's a bad PSU list with quite a few seasonic on it, too.
I don't see that bad PSU list anywhere? The fact that they don't have an XFX in the 1000-1700w list means nothing. They have the following Seasonic units iin the 1000-1700w bracket, and the XFX PSUs are the exact same thing minus the name and case:
I'd suggest you spend some time reading reviews on jonnyguru, which is by far the most trusted PSU review site on the web. The reviews by OklahomaWolf are my favourites.
You seemed to have missed what i said; Its branding, actual manufacture plants don't actually all belong to the same company manufacturing them. There are bad psu Series made from the same company and some manufactures batch will use cheaper part, this result in both bath series and bad batch.
It even happen with Corsairs, so saying "Corsair or Seasonic only made good PSU" is inaccurate. This is hella offtopic, but we can go in another thread if you want.
